Bandai - We dont like scalpers jacking the prices of our product up Also Bandai - We're only going to make a few of these items. Good luck everyone!

[@harbl99]

Bandai: "Yes. Yes! Fight for my amusement."

[@chronoslandestine2256]

but do they have to mass produce and end up having expensive unsold item on their warehouse? welp,, there is also option to produce based on order. but in anyway perfect supply and demand is impossible. I believe even if they do that, some people will still try to be a reseller and order based on demand assumption. maybe they will order too much and someone will have to hold the unsold items. And some people don't even have the money at the time they open order. Also for this metal structure, they will need to plan the qty more carefully, as it will have special materials and on top of that being more expensive, material, technology wise.

[@danielcraig9666]

While it's true there is no perfect solution Bandai's thinking has always been, "12,000 people want this, we can make 10,000... we'll make 3,000."

THERE'S A GUNDAM DOWN HERE!!

[@lllXanderlll]

I've actually seen two of these in person and I hadn't heard of it before. I was honestly not prepared for the price tags on them though, one was part of a giveaway at a locally owned pla shop and the whole lot was valued at something crazy like $2,000. The other one I saw was a hobby town and that thing alone was over $500 but I guess it's better than whatever people online would be asking for, either way it was too rich for my blood and like I said I had no idea what it was so I passed on em. Crazy to think that I saw not just one but two holy grails

[@whereisthebeto]

It's awesome with all the moving parts and detail, but I agree with the lack of attention and detail on the included base/stand.

[@duerf5826]

I saw one of these today at a local hobby shop for $3500. Had to peel my eye balls to make sure they weren't playing tricks on me.

[@genefactor007]

I really wish I knew about this figure. When it comes to Gundam collectables, I'm VERY shortsighted only looking for the Megahouse figures. These metal structures are works of art.

[@Harry-Har]

This is most certainly Gundam eye candy, but way too steep for my wallet. Your display showcase must be a dream display. I could just imagine. Maybe worth a tour and a future video piece.

[@Kyle-bu3og]

My local shop has one marked up to $4,000. It's sad that I can never have something this nice.

[@somechinesedude5466]

[@CarburetorThompson]

1/60 Sazabi. I don’t even want to imagine how much space you’d need to display that.

[@nelakendra2296]

I won't settle for anything less than Perfect Grade Unleashed for the Sazabi... Unfortunately long before they do a Sazabi PGU they'll do the Zaku, Unicorn, and Strike Freedom.

[@FordLancer]

I think if they redid char’s counterattack they would incorporate more tech from the unicorn series.

[@marzbee115]

Shame daban never made a bootleg version of these two. It would have been awesome

[@jeremyPXP]

I have a couple of the Nu Gundam Fin Funnel copies. They are nice but don't come with the stand that attaches to the maintenance stand and the brackets to mount them to the back of the Nu had to be sanded down to seat correctly in the slot. At $199 though, the KO funnels are decent for anyone that didn't get a set or two during the original release. Still waiting for my Kaitai-Shou-Ki Sazabi that I preordered 2 years ago at retail price.

Wanting to get the metal frame for the RG and several others things to mod the hell out of it. Its been my favorite build of the RGs and i feel like it deserves all the love i can give it

[@xxnike0629xx]

At least this time, the fin funnels come included with this expensive figure. It was dumb how the RX-93 ν Gundam version of this sold the Fin Funnels as a P-Bandai add on set. If you're a fan of the MSN-04 Sazabi, I think most fans would be satisfied with: - MG MSN-04 Sazabi Ver Ka - RG MSN-04 Sazabi - RG MSN-04ff Sazabi The Metal Structure 解体匠機 is a bit expensive. The ¥172,000 is likely out of most people's price range, and knowing this, it wouldn't be surprising if third party companies make their own versions.

[@jakefoley9539]

[@JediSayla79]

And I thought the PG Unleashed RX-78-2 was pricey...the $300ish that I paid for mine is pocket change compared to the Sazabi's retail price alone! Also, I'm envious of the fully-painted minifigures here. Those are beautiful!

[@HaohmaruHL]

They sell it at my local shop and also on Mercari, but I don't have a spare 440,000 yen, especially considering low crappy Japanese wages, lol. But both of these Nu and Sazabi look fantastic in real life (at least on display in the shop). Just give me a PG Nu already...

[@ValkyrieThunderbolt]

So basically, Bandai needs to get their butts in gear and make PG kits for the Nu Gundam and Sazabi got it. Well time to go the 3rd party route.

Wait wait wait you do gunpla content how did I never know this

Just want to say I came here from your YT partner program video and subscribed to this channel. Sad to here what happened. I loved making models as a kid so I guess I will be watching you build models instead, but I will mist your old videos that was so full of humor! Its sad that humor as a medium to talk about problems in society is getting banned left and right, no fun allowed :(

[@GUNPLAOFEL]

OMG this Metal Sazabi is massive, Really nice that you still make a review video cuz Damm G, even ridiculously expensive but still fragile I couldn't imagine if opening the hatch the wrong way will be a disaster. Beautiful to see by watching your video :P I stick with the Sazabi Ver Ka and the resin kit I need to build in the future.

[@kimberlyking7418]

Sorry Papa, I like this channel better than the others. Love you. Thanks for the content 👍 and here's a little magic for you. 🦄

[@initialize21]

I have one as well, this thing is a beauty. Anyone have any tips for attaching the gun to the hand though? I've been having trouble because the "forearm" is too big and blocks the rifle from attaching to the hand... it's getting frustrating 🤬

[@blipblip]

The bent forearm and rifle are some of the long running sazabi's design flaws...but it is especially problematic in this version. It has to be in the same orientation this dude is showing in the video if you want the peg on the rifle to fit into the slot in the hand, which means you have its right elbow facing side way. You also need to bring the palm as far towards the body as possible to give room for the stock/ammo cartilage. To me that's no way to hold a rifle. So instead of trying to get the peg in, I opted for just holding it with the fingers with the elbow bent to about 90 degree forward. The shoulder armor should help keeping the rifle in place while the gesture of the fingers can be manipulated much more easily to look natural. To me the biggest problem is the fitting of the base where it is supposed to be slotted into the figure's bottom area. The figure itself already have super limited spread and the base is constantly rubbing( if not scratching) the inner thighs. I just never figure out how to solidly have the figure locked in place with the base and relieve some of the loads on the upper body. As mentioned, for how cheap looking the base is, I rather have the figure stands alone on its own if the weight is not a concern in the long run.

[@elijahkelley8964]

Sorry for being so late to this video. I really enjoy the other channel and wanted to check out channel and wanted to check out this one as someone who has a minor interest in gunplu, but has always had a big investment in Gundam. I must say I really appreciate the use of the Crossbones Gundam on the other channel and Nu Gundam on this one. I recently picked up the RG Nu Gundam kit and love it. Sazabi is still my favorite though.

[@sushikebabguy4579]

I live in Japan and tried to get a pre-order on this for over 6 months and dozens upon dozens of entries to no veil. I even lined up infront of a store overnight lmao. At the end I had to buy it off of a scalper the day after release for 2.2k USD (300,000 JPY) which felt pretty sad because there were people getting 2 or even 3 with the pure intention of just flipping them. Long story short, fuck Bandai for not making these build-to-order.

[@wolfbrother9025]

[@Lowkeyactive]

I’m not very impressed with how this looks. I agree with you definitely could use more color separation. If this was manufactured by the companies that produce the diecast Mazinger and Getter robo series. Like CCS, Sentinel or even Three zero. It would’ve looked amazing.

[@blipblip]

LOL. You don't even know what you are talking about. I haven't seen a single video on youtube about this figure honestly doing enough justice to its colors and finish compared to when being view in person. Only tasteless fangirls would get such hard-on by the trendy and mindless color separations. I have figures from those companies you listed and let me tell you that none of the products made by those companies come close to how good looking the Sazabi is.

[@user-sp9po5qi9q]

I agree, the design for the arms is very ugly. It makes the Sazabi look weak and scrawny in comparison to the rest of the mobile suit. I especially hate the fact the shoulder armour doesn't even fucking cover the joint... The head is also way too wide, so disappointing.
